Question

【題目】Dear Dr. Manners,

My close friend seldom(很少)says “please”. She will say “Can you get me that bag? ”or “Move it over here! ”I have told her a lot of times that it is polite to use “please” and “thank you”, but she hardly remembers. I feel that she is ordering(命令)me around without “please”, and I always get annoyed.

We have been close friends for over 10 years, this has always been there. It seems that I can’t stand it any more. What should I do? Can you help me?

Sincerely,

Linda

Dear Linda,

When your friend does not use polite words, it seems that she is ordering you to do something. So you have every right(權(quán)利)to hate her behaviors.

Ask her why she doesn’t use “please” and “thank you”. Explain to her that it makes you uncomfortable. Also, you don’t want to do anything for her because she doesn’t seem kind or pleasant when she asks you to.

Your friend was probably never taught how to use “please” and “thank you” in normal conversation. So you can try to teach her that. Remember that it is difficult to find another close friend if you lose one.

Yours,

Dr. Manners

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了Linda講述了自己的朋友不禮貌的問(wèn)題，而Dr. Manners給她的相應(yīng)建議。

【1】題干“琳達(dá)什么時(shí)候認(rèn)識(shí)她的親密的朋友的？” 根據(jù)文中“We have been close friends for over 10 years, this has always been there. 可知，琳達(dá)和親密朋友認(rèn)識(shí)10多年了。故答案為Over ten years ago.。

【2】題干“如果琳達(dá)的親密朋友從未被交給如何使用禮貌用語(yǔ)，她該怎么辦？” 根據(jù)文中“Your friend was probably never taught how to use “please” and “thank you” in normal conversation. So you can try to teach her that.”可知，你的朋友可能從來(lái)沒(méi)有在正常的談話中學(xué)會(huì)如何使用“請(qǐng)”和“謝謝”。所以你可以試著教她。故答案為She can teach her.。

【3】題干“琳達(dá)為什么說(shuō)她的親密朋友不禮貌？”根據(jù)文中“My close friend seldom(很少)says “please”. She will say “Can you get me that bag? ”or “Move it over here! ”I have told her a lot of times that it is polite to use “please” and “thank you”, but she hardly remembers.” 可知，因?yàn)樗�很少說(shuō)“請(qǐng)”和“謝謝”。故答案為Because she seldom says “please” and “thank you”.。
